Problem Stargate Manufacturing Ltd (Stargate) is recalling certain 2018-2019 DUMP trailers equipped with the Smart-Steer 2.0 self-steering axle with a bolt-on steer arm at 8-7/8" tie-rod location. Under heavy loading, the bolts attaching the steer arm to the knuckle can shear. Risk The steer arm can detach from the knuckle and drag, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix Stargate will notify owners, and dealers will weld the steering arm and/or replace the defective bolts, free of charge. The recall began on June 4, 2021. Owners may contact Stargate customer service at 1-905-636-6888, extension 30. Stargate's number for this recall is SB009R.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. SB009R is the number Stargate assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 21V238000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Which vehicles does SB009R cover?

2018–2019 Stargate Dump Trailer, 6 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.
